> The goal is a library that provides a simple API to PGP sign files (or
> streams?) and verify PGP signatures. This may be extended to key
> management or encryption/decryption later. The idea is to start with
> an implementation based on Bouncycastle's[1] library but keep the API
> independent of it in order to allow different providers like
> cryptix[2] to be written.
>
> The library itself is supposed to be independent of either Ant or
> Maven.

> The initial set of committers will be Brett Porter, Matte Benson (who
> is an Ant committer, I've just granted him commit access to the
> sandbox) and myself, but more helping hands are certainly welcome.

> So far all there is is a README file describing the purpose of the

> than that. Somebody with commons karma will have to add pgp to the
> externals of trunks-sandox at one point.
>
> Based on the projects involved the question probably won't be whether
> we use Maven or Ant to build the project, we'll support both. 8-)
